I’m on a sit near Sebastian, Florida now where it’s been like this most days. I was sitting in San Diego and L.A. from February to May and agree that the weather was not what I was hoping for!
Ah @Kelly_U timing is everything! Two days ago I finished a wonderful sit in the Phoenix area, and the skies were bright and sunny for the whole two weeks I was there. I could have sent you some wonderful sunny pictures. Now I’m in San Diego, and, well, June gloom is a real thing!
Ah, @Kelly_U I’m sorry—and surprised—to hear that. In San Diego?! I was recalling the opening to “La La Land…”
Today, in East Texas, we had hail! I understand it’s colder at higher elevations (e.g., in the clouds), but sheesh! So it was 90°F and hailing, hard.
That said, SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is real.
My first thought is they should come up with a more uplifting acronym. LOL. Scientists…
You can look up various treatments, like light treatment. One thing going for you is not only do I think this won’t last, but at least the sun is up for longer than in the winter. Even if you can’t see it.
@Angela_L@Kelly_U Unfortunately May Gray and June Gloom are the reason, they are terms for a weather pattern that results in cloudy, overcast skies with cool temperatures during the late spring and early summer.
Hopefully the sun will appear again soon fingers crossed
Wow I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someplace hailing when it’s 90 degrees out! That’s wild!
Thanks though @geoff.hom, according to the latest weather report we should be seeing the end to the dreary weather by this Friday and I just can’t wait!! If it were any longer I would be heading east to get some sunshine. Looks like a beautiful wedding too
WOW! That is beautiful! I have to say during my travels Singaporean and English gardens are my favorite…I haven’t been everywhere yet but of the places I’ve seen they have the best gardens. Thank you for sharing!
Wow the size of that hail is shocking! I remember a few times as a kid we would have some freak hail storms similar to yours but not with such high temps. There was an independent car salesman in Albuquerque where every single one of the cars was hit and damaged with golf ball size hail. I think he had to close his business because he could never recover from the damage.
Anyhow, I agree with your sentiment! Sunny days ahead
Here’s some winter sun for you from home at Scarborough Beach, Queensland, Australia. It’s a bit cool at only 19 degrees! Not currently on a sit, just my daily stroll along the beach opposite our home I loved our 4.5 month UK winter trip but missed this so much
@Kelly_U you need to come to Queensland in November, aka storm month! Just before summer starts we regularly get 32-35 degrees (90-95), high humidity days with a cracking ferocious storm most afternoons, often with destructive hail.
